Let's be honest, despite my age, I am still a coach with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. I aspire to return to coaching one day and teach. However, as fate would have it, the current Football Association has handed over the new coaching position to foreign coach Ivan Kovic, so Gao Hongbo's wish to return to the coaching dream will have to be put on hold for the time being. Gao Hongbo has played a multi-faceted role in China's soccer landscape, with a rich and esoteric resume that ranges from a valiant warrior on the pitch to a wise helmsman in the coaching box to a decision-maker in the FA's management. He stepped up to the plate when the national soccer team was facing a difficult time, but unfortunately, due to problems at the tactical and managerial levels, he was not able to stay on.
Nevertheless, the image of Gao Hongbo as a kind and easy-going, hard-working man has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, winning the admiration and love of countless fans. Now, Gao Hongbo is standing at a new starting point in his life. Although his role has changed to youth training director, his love for soccer and desire for coaching career is still hot. In this era of continuous changes in Chinese soccer, we are eagerly waiting for Gao Hongbo to shine in his new position and expect him to fulfill his dream of coaching career again.
Gao Hongbo's change of identity is not only a new challenge for his personal career, but also a powerful addition to the Beijing soccer youth training system. The experienced Gao Hongbo brings his extensive knowledge and insights in the soccer field to the position of technical director of the BFA, and expects to have a positive impact on the training of soccer youth in Beijing and even across the country. Gao hopes that by strengthening technical guidance and optimizing the youth training system, he will be able to cultivate more outstanding soccer stars for the future of soccer in Beijing and even China. Gao Hongbo's passion and experience are especially valuable during this critical period of soccer transformation.
